00:00:00.320 Today, Jagmeet Singh and the NDP really seemed like they thought they were going to win some easy virtue signaling points in Parliament,
00:00:07.800 with their opposition motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, the establishment of a Palestinian state, and a ban on weapon shipments to the state of Israel.
00:00:17.580 Instead, they made themselves look like a bunch of naive terror-supporting clowns, unable to even call the terrorist organization Hamas or Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations.
00:00:28.380 I want to show you first the video that Jagmeet Singh posted himself on the NDP social media,
00:00:34.380 as well as him failing and falling flat on his face during a press conference being asked questions about the bill he's so proud of.
00:00:41.660 So check this out first.
00:00:43.440 Leaders have a significant platform and position to try to do something to end the bloodshed and the loss of life that's going on right now.
00:00:51.580 I want you to know I hear you. I see you.
00:00:53.400 I know that you felt like Justin Trudeau's let you down and Pierre Polyev's never had your back.
00:00:59.160 I want you to know that we have been making it known our position.
00:01:01.980 We have been fighting hard for peace.
00:01:04.300 We have been using our platform to call for a ceasefire and a release of hostages.
00:01:08.240 We've made it clear we believe Palestinians and Israelis have the right to live in peace and security.
00:01:12.480 Notice throughout this entire video, he will never actually say the word terror.
00:01:15.920 And he's also talking to his audience like they're a bunch of five-year-olds, even though he is talking this way to people who don't see it as that bad of a thing if Hamas terrorists run into the state of Israel and just murder 1,200 Jewish people.
00:01:29.960 We've called for these things before, and we're going to again use our position in the House of Commons to call for them again.
00:01:36.560 We are bringing forward an opposition day motion, a motion that again calls for many of the things that we've said in the past.
00:01:42.420 A ceasefire and a release of hostages, that we should work towards a two-state solution, that we need to reinstate the UNRWA funding, that we should.
00:01:50.240 UNRWA being a front group for Hamas and Islamic Jihad, a United Nations organization that takes Canadian taxpayer money as well as any other country that pays in to the UNRWA and effectively disseminates it to terror organizations so that they can buy weapons or so that those terror organizations can offset some of their domestic funding and then use their own money to buy more missiles, weapons, and whatnot.
00:02:13.380 UNRWA should end all arms sales to the Netanyahu government that we need to work.
00:02:20.940 He's saying the Netanyahu government, this annoys me, acting as if the problem in Israel is just Netanyahu and the Likud party.
00:02:28.740 They are currently in a war cabinet where all the opposition parties are in a coalition government because all opposition parties take terrorism seriously and want Hamas to be eliminated.
00:02:39.000 It would be like being attacked by a small Nazi state on the border of Canada and Canada just doing nothing about it once the terrorists run back into their own boundaries. 0.85
00:02:48.360 Work towards a peaceful solution where Palestinians and Israelis can live in safety and security.
00:02:54.080 We'll be bringing this motion to Parliament and forcing a vote on this motion.
00:02:58.060 We're hoping that this will increase pressure on Canada to do the right thing, to do everything we can to save lives.
00:03:04.560 So Jagmeet Singh seems really proud of himself in that video.
00:03:07.800 He thinks that he is a virtuous man for calling for peace.
00:03:11.600 It doesn't matter that you're calling for peace with a terrorist group who wants to murder everyone in the state of Israel.
00:03:17.620 It is just the fact that he's called for peace.
00:03:20.000 This would be like if it was 1944 in Germany and you were saying, well, it would be great if we just called for peace.
00:03:27.800 We shouldn't be bombing places like Dresden or Berlin.
00:03:30.300 And that's rude.
00:03:31.520 We should just, you know, make peace.
00:03:33.080 Because isn't peace great, you know, just leaving the terror government of Hamas in place in Gaza or just leaving the Nazi government in Germany in place? 0.60
00:03:41.280 Obviously not.
00:03:42.100 That's absurd.
00:03:42.640 And now I want to open up this new clip of him being questioned during this presser because this was quite embarrassing.
00:03:50.940 And what I want you to take notice of is the way that Shannon Phillips looks throughout this entire clip. 0.92
00:03:56.160 She is the MVP MP from, I think it's like Edmonton Strathcona.
00:04:01.440 She looks very smug at the start of this video.
00:04:04.660 And you will notice her face dropping a little bit as she's realizing that the questions are not really going Jagmeet's way.
00:04:12.040 On to your motion, it does not condemn Hamas.
00:04:14.680 It does not call on Hamas to surrender.
00:04:17.640 And it leaves open the possibility that when you're declaring Palestinian statehood, you're envisioning Hamas as the government.
00:04:23.560 You're leaving that open as to the future of Hamas.
00:04:26.340 Why are you not declarative in your stance on Hamas in this statement?
00:04:31.160 Shannon Phillips looks significantly more distressed.
00:04:33.580 We've actually also were looking at her hand.
00:04:35.400 She starts playing with her hands a lot in the background during the entire course of that question.
00:04:40.600 And now Jagmeet Singh is here wearing an all black suit and tie, which can I tell everyone, do not wear black suit and tie if you're a man in a normal business situation.
00:04:49.520 It actually makes you look like you're trying to go to either a funeral or a wedding.
00:04:53.800 Wear a little bit of color or you end up looking really odd like he does here.
00:04:57.140 He looks like he's going to go to a job interview and he's like 17 years old.
00:05:00.100 Well, we've been very clear on this and we'll repeat it very clearly so that everyone knows we condemn Hamas unequivocally as a terrorist organization.
00:05:08.260 That's why he didn't put the condemnation in the actual motion itself or in none of the press leading up to this motion because he doesn't frankly see Hamas as a terrorist organization, just as Jagmeet Singh doesn't see Kalistani organizations as being pro terror or being directly involved in terrorism because he himself is also a Kalistani.
00:05:29.000 He also has basically solidarity like groups with groups like Hamas and you see this all over the place.
00:05:35.420 If you're a Kalistani, you support Islamist groups. 1.00
00:05:37.380 If you're Antifa, you support Kalistani and Islamist groups. 0.96
00:05:40.480 If you're Islamist, you support leftist groups and all that because they have kind of a similar interest in ignoring the actual wages of terrorism. 0.85
00:05:49.080 We condemn the attack as a terrorist attack on October 7th and so we want that to be very clear.
00:05:55.960 We've always maintained that position and when we're recognizing Palestinian statehood, we're saying that we've always maintained a position of a two-state solution.
00:06:04.220 You can't have a two-state solution without recognizing there's two states.
00:06:07.340 So this is just about moving forward for peace and justice.
00:06:10.520 We will always maintain our position that both Israelis and Palestinians have the right to self-determination and the right to safety and security.
00:06:19.240 And notice there, and thanks for True North for clipping that from CPAC, notice there he won't actually back off of the accusation in that question that are you saying that Hamas should stay as the government of Gaza if a two-state solution is actually reached,
00:06:35.340 that there is an actual real Palestinian state and then the state of Israel is secured, that would it be okay for Fatah or Islamic Jihad or Hamas to be one of the governments there?
00:06:45.640 And he says, yes, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
00:06:48.640 I've unequivocally always stated that from the start.
00:06:51.560 He never really has.
00:06:52.420 A lot of his own MPs, like Shannon Phillips behind him, has been real quiet on whether they actually see Hamas as like a bigger threat to the democratic state of Israel.
00:07:03.940 They're absolute psychos on this stuff.
00:07:06.680 And in this entire clip, he never actually circles back and says, no, no Palestinian state with Hamas or another terrorist organization in charge because Jagmeet Singh has zero standards at all.
00:07:19.420 He is anti-Western fundamentally, and that is why he treats the IDF, the Israeli military, fighting terrorists in Gaza as well as their own territory as equivalent to Hamas running over the border and murdering women and children.
00:07:31.940 He sees these two things as equivalent, which is why his condemnations for Hamas actions pretty much mirror just about the intensity that he does for the Israeli military taking actions against those terrorists.
00:07:43.540 He sees those two things as equivalent actions.
00:07:46.580 It's truly disgusting.
00:07:48.240 And yes, Jagmeet Singh supports Hamas staying in place in Gaza.
00:07:51.600 That is why he's saying the hostages need to be released.
00:07:54.380 But really, at the end of the day, we just need peace.
00:07:56.740 This is why I hate peaceniks, people who just say, oh, I'm against war.
00:08:01.600 I'm anti-war.
00:08:02.840 No, you're not.
00:08:03.600 You're just pro the West losing wars half the time.
00:08:06.740 You are absolutely OK with China, with different sort of Islamist organizations, dictatorships invading other countries. 0.97
00:08:13.960 You just don't like when the West fights back.
00:08:16.260 And so that's exactly who Jagmeet Singh is.
00:08:18.440 He is upset that a Western country fought back against an anti-Western Islamist terrorist organization, just as he would be upset if, like, you know, a socialist state in South America invaded a democratic one.
00:08:30.560 This is why he is pro, you know, Castro in Cuba.
00:08:34.320 This is why he has been very silent on condemning, you know, dictatorial states like Venezuela.
00:08:40.020 They are leftist states.
00:08:41.000 They are anti-Western states.
00:08:42.340 So he is OK with them.
00:08:43.880 If you are somewhat conservative, then he will freak out and call you a dictator.
00:08:48.460 That's why he thinks Netanyahu is a dictator when he is doing actually pretty soft-handed things when it comes to the defense of a state that is surrounded by enemies.
00:08:57.440 I've been to Israel.
00:08:58.580 I've looked through binoculars into Palestinian and Hezbollah territory.
00:09:02.560 And it's funny, even if you're looking into Lebanon, the flags that fly highest on the flagstaffs are the Hezbollah flag, the Iranian flag.
00:09:10.600 And then third highest is the Lebanese flag, because a lot of Israel's neighbors are effectively controlled by terrorists, even if it's supposedly a democratic country.
00:09:21.040 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:09:23.360 Jagmeet Singh is a scumbag.
00:09:24.720 If you want to donate to the TNT Legal Fund, the Give, Send, Go link is in the description below.
00:09:30.300 Basically, we're being sued by a ridiculous billionaire developer.
00:09:33.800 He thinks we've defamed him, or I only think he actually thinks we've defamed him.
00:09:37.340 He has no evidence.
00:09:37.940 It's been two years into the case, and he still hasn't presented any evidence.
00:09:41.140 All of our reporting on him relied on Globe and Mail investigations that were already done a year and a half before we said anything.
00:09:46.900 But he is trying to bully us into giving him a fake apology so he can pretend anything negative ever said about him is somehow false by going after a 21-year-old.
00:09:56.060 I was 21 at the time this lawsuit started.
00:09:58.540 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:10:00.940 See you guys around.
